I THINK THAT'S A GREAT DEAL IF ONLY I LIVED IN FL.

these prices are becoming the norm. i just sold my 05 M3 a few weeks and have been watching 335s for the past few months. there are dealers in chicago (one who wholesales to perillo bmw) offering 07 coupes with <20k miles under $30k. i think that by jan or feb 2009, youll be able to pick up a used 07 335i coupe with 25k miles for $25,000.

Who is the dealer in Chi who wholesales out the cars?

This is probably true, the market for 07 E90 328/335 is totally tanked. I wonder how the 2006 models fair..they should be in the sub 20 range.

its usually a network of dealerships called luxury motors or bentley of downers grove or something... they buy up all the auction cars and push um out the door with little markup. not bad, some people have had success with them, some have had problems.

if i was gonna buy a car on ebay it'd be from a warm weather climate... less chance for rust


BTW... saw a 335 sedan w/zsp and zpp on ebay today selling with no reserve and it was only at like $18k right now with a few days left.

I think you will find that color and option packages will play the biggest influence in how much above 30k you will get on a 335i right now... the fact is that this is a great car and emotion will still play a part, for now at least~

this guy isnt luxury motors. im well aware of their shadiness. when i was buying my M3, i drove a couple of theirs just for the hell of it. both cars you could tell just by driving it that there were issues.

[UdubBadger]

i thought fredtoo was asking about the ones you always see on ebay and cars.com for like $3k less than the rest, not this specific one especially since the listing says its from gainsville fla.

[shocka1212]

yes i think when my lease is up on the 328 im gonna hop into a cpo 335 if the prices stay this reasonable on the used ones.

[UdubBadger]

^ hahaha if they stay this way you might see me snag an M3 at the end of my lease... by then an 08 should be real close to the $45k mark

I heard enough stories about Luxury Motors to avoid them.
(Similar to Rayco in PA)
While you may be able to get a good deal from them, I would not buy one sight unseen.
